‘Luke Cage’ Season 2 Officially Starting Production in June

Reports of Luke Cage Season 2 entering production seemed unusually sudden, especially so soon after The Defenderswrapped. Now, the man himself promises that Luke Cage will return to Harlem in a few months’ time, potentially pointing toward a 2018 premiere as well.

Where recent set photo confusion and casting rumors stirred Luke Cage buzz that Season 2 was already underway, star Mike Colter told audiences at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (or C2E2) that production would start in June, and likely last until March of 2018. The upcoming Defenders star has read at least a first few scripts for Season 2, which could lend credence to reports of the series casting a new villain.
